Biopsychosocial Influences on Movement Quality in Low Back Pain

Course Information

This educational session from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) Congress 2021 discusses how movement is linked to psychosocial factors, sensory hypersensitivity, and pain – all in the context of clinical rehabilitation.

The entire session is embedded within an interactive case study (e.g., video/audio of a patient) and discusses how a treatment approach based in principles of 'cognitive functional therapy' can be applied to improve management.
